Bagheera

This was by far the best 2024 movie for me. This movie >>>> Pathaan, Jawan. Regional movie feel ae alla. I have watched all 8 seasons of CW's Arrow and that was peak vigilante series for me. This nails it to the T. Nothing was rushed in. The setup and payoff is good.

Excellent acting especially by Murali n Rangayana Raghu sir. The way it's shown that he knows, without him saying anything speaks is one small example for the awesome direction n cinematography. BGM syncs well too. I also liked how villain's strength was consistent throughout till the end. Can't think of any Indian films that came close to this in this genre. I want this film to win.

A very average commercial entertainer! Absolutely nothing new in the storyline, same old story of the main lead trying to be a super hero by saving the masses in complete disguise as Bagheera. He single-handedly does fight hundreds together hooligans backed by weapons, guns etc without getting himself hurt, a totally unrealistic picture to believe into. But as an action entertainer, quite an average one. Originally a Kannada movie dubbed in all South Indian languages. Available in Netflix, my ratings 5/10!

The movie is good, it kept audiance engaged especially in first half the scenes the hype everything is well done, some scenes were so good felt like watching a 3d movie and for some I was wondering how well it blends if it was is 4dx. But still in 2d they have kept everything alive.

And yes compared to first half second half could have been much more better in terms of engaging audiance and the story after interval.

But I'm not complaining second half is disappointing but competitively first half is good.

And moreover I don't recall seeing movie like this in kannada I mean kinda feels something fresh in kannada industry.

But definitely watch in THEATERS, it's best enjoyed in cinema's.

Better Script could have made this well-mounted movie more exciting & enjoyable.

Acting of the hero is good, but, he looked his age in many scenes, not exactly 24 or 25. Cinematography, music, set design OK.

But, script is not tight. Nor ,the details.

There should have been more details about the negative characters . Should have offered a non-linear storyline, some more twists.

Vedanth's father's role is absurd. His dialogue & gesticulations in his last appearance were poor in taste. Police Commissioner 's action in stopping Vedanth is abrupt - there should have been more emphasis in developing this sub-plot.

This film brings Western superhero grandeur to real-life scenarios, with KGF/Hombale-style cinematography and massy dialogues. It's packed with intense, disturbing, and violent moments, making for a high-impact, gripping start.

The family bond established early on is heartfelt, creating an emotional anchor for the film. The romantic track between the leads feels fresh at first, with both characters strong in their own ways and sharing morals, but as the story progresses, it falls into the usual tropes and loses its charm.

The screenplay, though action-packed, feels rushed due to fast-paced editing, and at times, the choppy cuts fail to make a significant impact during the action sequences.

The film does a good job of presenting a societal dilemma around the definition of a hero. It explores the tension between an ideal, moral world and the harsh, practical reality where circumstances force people to compromise their values.

While the first half sets up a lot of conflict, the second half becomes more engaging, introducing new characters and stronger action pieces that elevate the story. As the story unfolds, it becomes predictable, with familiar twists. The final showdown feels dragged out, and a tighter edit would've made for a stronger conclusion. Still, the message remains thought-provoking.

While not perfect, the film is a commendable attempt at something new in the mass film genre. It's a one-time watch for fans of high-octane action and dramatic twists. The sequel hint leaves room for more, but personally, it didn't spark much anticipation.
